00:00Guys, thank you for helping me finish my assignments.
00:12If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have met my deadline.
00:16Pilot, of course.
00:18Even if we're in your situation, we won't hesitate to help you.
00:21Just that I'm not sure if what we did was good or bad.
00:33Why? What happened?
00:36Because the Mayor was too impressed with me.
00:40He gave me more assignments.
00:43And the deadline is Friday.
00:46I don't know if I can still make it.
00:49I don't know if I can still make it.
00:55That's not a problem, Lillet. We'll help you.
01:01Of course, I don't want to always rely on you.
01:04You gave me the job, so I want to do it.
01:11I believe in you, Lillet.
01:12Really? Do you remember the bar exam?
01:16You were stressed because Tina was in the hospital.
01:21But you got through it.
01:23And the ending, you're a bar top natural.
01:28Even if you did that, I'm sure you'll pass the challenge in your third year.
01:35You know, I agree with Atty. Kurt.
01:38Just believe in yourself.
01:39And if you do that, you can do anything.
01:43Thank you for believing in me.
02:01Oh, I need to go back to the office.
02:05I want to finish my assignment.
02:07I need to go back to the office.
02:09Atty. Patrick wants me to attend the defense strategy meeting.
02:13I'm not done yet. Finish that first.
02:16No, it's okay. I'll go back to the office.
02:26When Atty. Spanky comes from court,
02:29tell him to line up the cases from our mergers and acquisitions department, okay?
02:35Yes, Atty. Simons.
02:37Meredith, do you have a minute? Can we talk?
02:42Will this be quick? Because I have a lot to do.
02:45Yeah.
02:47Leave us first.
02:53Look, Meredith.
02:56If you're mad at me,
02:59don't make it hard for Lilith or the other people who are loyal to me.
03:03They have nothing to do with our conflict.
03:07I don't know what you're talking about.
03:09I'm not doing anything wrong.
03:11Oh, come on.
03:14It's obvious that you're making it hard for Lilith.
03:17It's like you're deliberately setting her up to fail.
03:21Why?
03:23Is it because she's close to me and Lorena?
03:26Is that what this is all about?
03:27Is that what this is all about?
03:31I don't like the tone of your voice, Atty. Constantino.
03:35As the principal managing partner of this firm,
03:39I am tasked to give performance goals to our associates.
03:43It's not just Lilith whom I'm giving assignments to.
03:46Even our other associates.
03:48I also have things to do for others.
03:51But I don't have to broadcast it to the meetings.
03:54Next time, don't question my decision.
03:57And I don't like this insinuation of yours.
04:01It's like I'm making it hard for one of our associates to spite you.
04:06Let me remind you.
04:09This is not all about you.
04:12Don't think too highly of yourself.
04:15Attorney, are we still waiting for someone?
04:18Yes. Just one more and then we can start.
04:45Oh.
04:47Why are you looking at me like that?
04:50Are you still thinking that I'm the one who's being unfair to you?
04:55Face it, Attorney Lilith.
04:58Maybe it's because I'm not the only one who's angry and doesn't like you in this firm.
05:08Okay, guys.
05:10Let's begin our defense strategy meeting.
05:12For the cyberbullying case that was filed against Ms. Jonna Castillo.
05:22Ms. Castillo is a popular Filipina international model.
05:27And she's part of the Philippine Mega Models Agency.
05:31Which is one of our high profile clients.
05:34So please, pay attention to this meeting.
05:38Because this case is important.
05:40Next slide, please.
05:42The one who filed a complaint against Ms. Castillo is a freelance model.
05:50Ms. Karen Libreta.
05:52But perhaps, as some if not all may know,
05:55Jonna is a money making machine of PMMA.
06:01She is the Filipino Giselle Bunchen slash Kendall Jenner.
06:08In the filed complaint, the complainant stated that
06:13the reason why she wasn't included in the projects is because Ms. Jonna is ruining her image on social media.
06:19And the truth is, quote unquote,
06:22Jonna's behavior is so bad.
06:25Although the case is still in the preliminary investigation,
06:29let's all keep in mind that we're already late to engage the client.
06:33And we need to submit her counter affidavit soonest.
06:38Because it is, after all, still best to put an end to this complaint at the fiscal level.
06:45Given the image of our client.
06:48Now, I'd like to hear your perspectives on how to approach this case.
06:56Anybody wants to start?
06:57Well, it's clear that the complainant is just fabricating a story
07:02because she's jealous of our client.
07:05And in order for us to protect the reputation of our client,
07:09we need to destroy the credibility of the complainant.
07:12Let's expose all of her bad habits.
07:15Let's show that she's a liar.
07:19Well, in fact, let's show that her behavior is really bad
07:22that's why she's no longer hired by commercials and shows.
07:26Atty. Lillet, what do you think?
07:31I think we should focus on proving the innocence of our client
07:36instead of destroying the complainant.
07:39Let's show that there's no evidence to prove
07:43that the complainant is right about our client.
07:47We cannot afford to be passive, Atty.
07:49We cannot afford to be passive, Atty.
07:53The complainant is destroying our client's career.
07:57We need to fight back with everything that we have.
08:01But if we do that, won't it be like us being bullied?
08:05We need a strategy that not only defends our client
08:10but also upholds our ethical standards.
08:14Well, your approach is weak, Atty.
08:17Victimizing, pitiful effect.
08:20Is your game plan always like that?
08:23For example, you're being bullied
08:26so that you can be the champion?
08:28So that you can win?
08:33Alright, that's enough.
08:35Let's focus on the case at hand.
08:37No matter when, doing the right thing is not weak.
08:41Being weak is not cowardly.
08:43Being weak is not cowardly.
08:46Do you know what's wrong?
08:48Destroying and blaming others so that you can win.
08:52That's the real bullying.
